Think I installed the mbc wrong. I read all the different post about it and since people install it so many different ways...I'm all mixed up now. The way I have it there is nothing at all going into the stock boost solenoid and its not cap'd off. I cap'd off one hoses on the h connector and one going into the back of the engine - think it was the one that went into the h connector. The boost controller is between one line on the h connector and then goes into the y pipe. I had it running 12lbs of boost but it is back down to 9 or so. I was running 10 stock which i thought was a little high for a 92 tt, but Im dont know the totally history of the car.
Thanks Mike

Not sure if you've got it right since I dont have a MBC but an EBC (EVC IV) instead. But i'd imagine the vacuum lines would be pretty much the same right? Same concept, just a different type of controller.

If you're really stumped and want to see the diagram for my EBC to determine where the vacuum lines are going, let me know, I can fax them to you or email them to you.

BTW - when did you get a TT? I'm in SE Wisc too. Met most of the 3si guys from the area at the Greenfield Park gathering in Sept. but you weren't there...

Yeah I had to work...as usual. Let me know if you want to get together sometime soon...maybe with rob too.
Later, mike

good to see the TT is workin out for ya. How's it run. didn't it have high miles?

 

[Vetting]

Yeah it has 193k but has newer turbos, new transfer case, new tranny, and new clutch. Had it checked out today again by the mechanic (my brother-in-law, pays to have hookups) and he said almost everything on the car either looks perfect or is brand new. Thing pulls like a rabid ape. Spins all 4 tires and wheel hops all through first gear....a car like this should be illegal.

Take your mbc off the car and blow through it.
It should be extremely easy for stock psi.
It should be easy for 13-16 psi.
It should be hard for 18 psi and up.

Then once it is where you want to start, I started at stock, install it.
The part opposite the screw adjustment should be the input and should be attached to the y-pipe.
The other end, the output should be connected to the H which connects to the wastegates and the last barb is capped.

Then use an aftermarket guage that is attached to a t in the line hooked from the nipple on the throttlebody to the fuel pressure regulator solenoid.

I used a little race gas, took my wrenches needed for adjustment, and made some 3rd gear pulls.
Adjusting out for less boost, and in for more boost.

Once I hit 15 psi I locked it in.
I then pulled a few 1/4 mile runs and called it good.

off topic question! how or what did you use to cap off the lines? I'm getting ready to install one! I need to cap off the nozzels on the ypipe.

 

[MeTrzan]

you should have the line from the Y-pipe going into the inlet side of the MBC and the outlet line running down in by the rear turbo....

Kdog,
to tell you the truth its easier to buy 2 T connector and replace the H connectors so you dont have to cap any of the lines off...just remove them...

rear panel pics????

Hey Vetting, can you repost those old pics of your lit rear "stealth " panel??

Do you think we could try that on our RT TTs????

 

[Vetting]

Here are those pics
Brakes on

Lights on and no brakes

No lights

I would do it with an RT but I would have to do a different design since its so much more narrow.
